Amazing Polly has done another video which includes more info on the retaurant apps being used by some of our usual suspects. At circa 18:00 she mentions the World Central Kitchen and the OpenTable app. Human Misery for Fun and Profit - Clinton, O'Brien, Andrés, Epstein . This post is about that OpenTable app..

So, who uses it?

Hawksmoor Restaurant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawksmoor_(restaurant)

Hawksmoor is a British steakhouse and cocktail bar chain. The original establishment is in Spitalfields, near to where the architect Nicholas Hawksmoor built Christ Church. Subsequently, there are four other restaurants in London: in Seven Dials, Air Street nearby Piccadilly Circus, Knightsbridge and Guildhalldistrict of the City. Most recently they have opened their first restaurant outside London: Hawksmoor Manchester on Deansgate (near Spinningfields).

The restaurant was founded by Will Beckett and Huw Gott in 2006.[3] They had previously worked in bars and kitchens in London's East End and opened their new bar/restaurant on Commercial Street there.[3] Their plan was to offer high-quality, well-butchered beef and so they tasted the meat of a variety of breeds and suppliers before choosing the longhorn cattle bred and butchered in Yorkshire by Tim Wilson's Ginger Pig company.

 Evidence: Celebrity Freud family quietly invested millions in multiple ping pong and pizza restaurants in London and Chicago by @swordfish69

An article in a British construction magazine confirms that the Freud family, who were behind psychoanalysis and the Tavistock Clinic, and who became involved in the Madeline McCann investigation through outed pedophile Clement Freud, are closely involved in the pizza and ping pong restaurant business. Matthew Freud, his son, appears to have been part of a multi-million pound investment in these restaurants, which was attended by Hollywood celebrities, London socialites and members of the pizza and ping pong club circuit.

With the creation of Bounce Shoreditch spanning over two and a half years, the £3.5million project encompassed an investor line-up including PR man Matthew Freud, Zoopla’s Alex Chesterman and Zetter Group’s Mark Sainsbury. Bounce is also due to open its first international venue in Chicago in early 2016, with further planned openings in the US and Asia.

This eventually included the opening of AceBounce in Chicago as well, a couple blocks from the Obama-connected Loop Capital, who are connected to the ping pong nightclub circuit through Killerspin founder and close Obama confidante Robert Blackwell. Not only does Bounce Ping Pong bear much similarity to Comet Ping Pong, but the establishment also contains a number elements identical to Comet. …

That's Mark Sainsbury of the Sainsbury family. His father is John Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury of Preston Candover https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sainsbury,_Baron_Sainsbury_of_Preston_Candover

He is a former member of the Steering Committee of the Bilderberg Group. In 1985 he and his two brothers provided funds to construct a new wing of the National Gallery, London at a cost of around £50 million, which opened in 1991 as the Sainsbury Wing.[11] With his wife, he also runs the Linbury Trust, which offers grants to various projects in the fields of the Arts, Education, Environment & Heritage, Medical, Social Welfare and Developing Countries. In 1993, he joined with Lord Rothschild to set up the Butrint Foundation to record and conserve the archaeological site of Butrint in Albania.

Ginger Pig is a butchery which raises livestock in the Vale of Pickering and North York Moors, retails the meat in its shops in London and supplies restaurants and other specialist butchers. It was founded by Tim Wilson in 2003.[1] A series of Ginger Pig cookbooks based upon their produce was released in 2013.

Cooking the books: Ginger Pig Farmhouse Cookbook - https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/cooking-the-books-ginger-pig-farmhouse-cookbook-8628324.html

When is a butcher not a butcher? When it’s “a cult-like phenomenon” in the Ginger Pig’s case: not my words, but those of Tom Parker Bowles on the back of this week’s book.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Parker_Bowles

Parker Bowles is the son of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Andrew Parker Bowles. His stepfather and godfather is Charles, Prince of Wales.

From 1997 until 2000, Parker Bowles was a junior publicist for Dennis Davidson Associates public relations firm.[13] In 2001, he was one of the founders of the Quintessentially Group, a high end concierge service, which his cousin Ben Elliot co-founded and the same year became Tatler's food columnist.[14][15]

From 2002 to date he has been a food writer, critic and broadcaster. He is a restaurant critic of The Mail on Sunday and food editor of Esquire.[16][17] He is also a contributing editor to Conde Nast Traveller (UK and US), and Departures (US), as well as a regular contributor to Country Life, Harpers Bazaar and Town and Country.[18][19] He was a contributor to Gordon Ramsay's The F Word

Spitalfields https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitalfields

19th century Spitalfields was recreated as the setting for the film From Hell about Jack the Ripper. This included a reconstruction (in Prague) of the notorious Ten Bells pub (still extant on Commercial Street): alleged to have been a rendezvous of some of the Ripper's prostitute victims, before they were murdered. In the film Johnny Depp (as Inspector Abberline) is seen drinking there with Ripper victim Mary Jane Kelly.

In Neil Jordan's film The Crying Game (1992), the transgender character "Dil" lives in Spitalfields.

An Occult Psychogeography of Hawksmoor’s London Churches - http://www.thebohemianblog.com/2015/10/an-occult-psychogeography-of-hawksmoors-london-churches.html

Nicholas Hawksmoor was an English architect – and active freemason – who rose to prominence around the turn of the 18th century. In 1680, at the age of 18, he was taken on as a clerk to the legendary architect Sir Christopher Wren; and Hawksmoor worked with Wren on notable landmarks such as Hampton Court Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral.

As his career blossomed, Hawksmoor would later become a leading proponent of the English Baroque style; designing halls, palaces and abbeys, as well as producing work for both Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Of all his masterpieces however, Hawksmoor is best known for his series of London churches.

His churches are unusual, to say the least. They feature obelisks in place of steeples, pyramids for towers, imitation sacrificial altars appearing in stead of arches – a rich language of symbols that seem to contradict, perhaps even mock, the architectural vocabulary of traditional Christian churches. With a range of ancient, pre-Christian and pagan influences clearly demonstrated in his work, it wasn’t long before Nicholas Hawksmoor’s own religious beliefs were called into question.

In his 1975 collection of poems titled Lud Heat, the psychogeographer Iain Sinclair interpreted the style of Hawksmoor’s churches to suggest themes of Theistic Satanism. Ten years later, Peter Ackroyd published a novel in which Hawksmoor himself is represented as a devil-worshipper, terrorising London with occult architecture. Even the very creed of these churches could itself be said to support an ideology of misogyny; they were built for the Anglican Church, a religious movement founded to validate the misdeeds of a murderous, womanising king.

It has been speculated by some historians that Christ Church Spitalfields, erected between 1714 and 1729, was placed here as a symbol of oppression; a powerful emblem of the Anglican Church to remind these Protestant refugees where they were.

Hawksmoor built his Spitalfields Christ Church above a plague pit, a mass burial site; not that there was any shortage of those in London, by the end of the bubonic plague epidemic. For sustenance, the roots of Christ Church dug deep into the mass graves of London’s damned.

t was in Spitalfields, too, where Sir William Gull offered a blood sacrifice to the stones of London and thereby entered into his own mythology… or at least, Alan Moore’s Gull did.

Satanic fashion show was held at St Andrew's Church. It's architect was freemason Sir Christopher Wren, mentor to Hawksmoor '- 'the devil's architect'. More on occult London..

Sir Christopher Wren PRS (/ˈrɛn/;[2] 30 October 1632 [O.S. 20 October] – 8 March 1723 [O.S. 25 February]) is one of the most highly acclaimed English architects in history.[3] He was accorded responsibility for rebuilding 52 churches in the City of London after the Great Fire in 1666, including what is regarded as his masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral, on Ludgate Hill, completed in 1710.

The principal creative responsibility for a number of the churches is now more commonly attributed to others in his office, especially Nicholas Hawksmoor.
